PFAS — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, often called “forever chemicals” — are released every time a firefighter uses aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF). They do not break down in the body or the environment. Exposure has been linked to many cancers and serious health problems.
Firefighters directly confronted with fuel-based fires are at the highest risk: airport firefighters, military firefighters, fuel-industry firefighters, and volunteer firefighters who trained with AFFF.
We are well aware that firefighters struggling with the health issues caused by AFFF exposure are usually overwhelmed and in pain. Our law firm requests only basic documents to file a claim with the manufacturers — your employment or military records, and your medical records. Our compassionate legal team handles the rest, so you can focus on your health and treatment.
Regardless of how complex a firefighter’s case is, we will go to great lengths to obtain the compensation they are entitled to. With 35 years of professional experience, we have the resources and the expertise to handle even the most intricate claims.
